Recent patterns show a wave of automated threats impersonating law enforcement and the IRS, often citing arrests and unpaid taxes. Callers use a recorded voice, sometimes with an Indian accent, and repeat the same script across multiple victims. If you receive a message demanding payment or threatening custody, hang up and do not call the number back. Verify any tax issues directly with the official IRS website or your local police department. Block the offending number and report it to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑filter service. Staying skeptical and using call‑blocking tools are the best defenses against these scams.
